Default A fresh new look with Techart bumper..

Well I was getting bored with my TT bumper after having it on for the last 10 years, it still looked nice but I always wanted the Techart bumper, after seeing the new 997 TT Techart bumper with LED DRL's I knew this was the look I wanted. Jeffery at Xtreme Motorcars was a pleasure to work with, we exchanged many emails over the last 2 months before I finally pulled the trigger. All of my questions answered in a very timely fashion as well as going the extra mile ordering a upgraded mesh for it. He also had the tow plug holes filled in at my request. The bumper is agressive but not over the top, the lines go well with my factory side skirts and the rear turbo bumper. I had the LED's wired so that they are day time running lights when the parking lights are on, and the first single light is the blinker. I also had the fog lights wired to come on the same time as the stock fog lights, it looks really good at night.. The fit and finish of the bumber was perfect some modification are necessary but an good body shop can handle it. I'm very happy with the new look, it's funny how many people ask if it's a brand new car, I laugh and say nope its actually 13 years young .. OK enough rambling on, here is a before and after..





After a 6 hour detail, these guys did an unbelieveable job!

Very nice look! That is one heavily optioned cab. Would you mind posting the options please? My cab tipped the scales at $116k with all the Exclusive options and I bet yours is in that territory as well.

I really like the new bumper- it does make it look like a new car.

Nice - I like the LED touch as well - reminds me of the newer 997s when they started using those. Good job!

Thanks guys! Well that is hard to say because I added a lot of factory options to it after the fact, from recollation on factory specs, it was full supple leather with memory, hard top.. I bought it in 2000 so it was a year old.

Items added, factory litronics, full factory carbon all over, added factory heated sport seats, side skirts, so many other aftermarket items as well.

The rear wing is made by Mashaw, its the ERS wing

Are you interested in selling your old bumper if it's in good condition?
